I Am Who I Am

My mind is a cage
It traps dark thoughts
And lets loose my dreams
Into the midnight air

Caged in my mind
I hide in fear
Tormented by dark thoughts
Grasping for my beloved dreams

Huddled in my mind's cage
I wonder where the light has gone
I wonder where the life has gone
When will this life expire

The blood is stagnant in this cage
Trickling down my side
Marking my mistakes
Marking my futilities

And yet, my bars are fading
Into the midnight air
I float freely again
Among my dreams

I sense danger in my mind
Maybe this is just a trap
Maybe this is just a trick
Maybe I should just turn back

But I will not cease to float
I will not give up my dreams
No matter all the tricks and games
I must embrace my dreams

I float along and see the light
The shining ray of hope
It caresses my body
And I feel warm for the first time in ages

I've touched my dream
I've touched my dream
I hope it all was what it seems
The love and hope I've been looking for

Yet I still bleed
My mistakes, my frailties
They will not fade
They will not go away

For I am the path I choose to take
For I am the one I choose to make
